The Image rendering extension renders a report to a bitmap or metafile. By default, the Image rendering extension produces a TIFF file of the report, which can be viewed in multiple pages. When the client receives the image, it can be displayed in an image viewer and printed.

The Image rendering extension can generate files in any of the formats supported by GDI+: BMP, EMF, GIF, JPEG, PNG, and TIFF.

The Image rendering extension processes the report by assembling all elements of the report and creates an image for each page. With extensions like the HTML rendering extension, you rely on the client browser to display the final report to the user. This can lead to varying user experiences, based on browser versions, settings and fonts. With an image, you are assured that each user is viewing the same style and layout.
